The concept of space worm holes, rather than its existence was first postulated by Einstein that tells us about the possibilities of traveling through space that would be virtually impossible in the complete life-span of a human being. In short, it is a hypothetical feature that allows ‘time travel’ through it.

Features of worm holes

The existence of worm holes have been explained by the famous theory called ‘The Theory of Relativity’ by Einstein, who said that massive celestial bodies can change both space and time. The physical shape and size of worm holes is still in the realm of unknown. The concept of wormhole can easily be understood by imaging two mouths with a common throat. In fact, the name worm hole is coined from the analogy that a worm by burrowing a hole through an apple along its tapered end on both sides, would reach much quicker than the time it would take by covering the much longer distance through the circumference.

Similarly, the worm holes connect different locations of the universe and through them matter can pass through much faster than the speed of light.

The space worm holes not only connect different regions within a single galaxy, they also connect different parallel galaxies. Such types of inter-universe wormholes are called Schwarzschild worm holes.

Time travel

The theory of relativity says that the distance and time is dependant upon the motion. So, if an astronaut in a spacecraft moves faster than the speed of light into the space and returns after, say a year, by that time a considerable time ( may be some centuries) might have elapsed by then. So, when you cover distance at a considerably less time, you would go beyond the effect of aging. In other words, by time travel or by moving to space at far greater speed than light would, you wouldn’t get old. Although it may sound unbelievable, ‘The Theory of Relativity’, as postulated by Einstein, clearly explains this.

The path through which matters move inside a worm hole are called ‘closed time curve’ as time is thought to be closed, while traveling inside them. Such worm holes are known as ‘time holes.’

The theory of quantum gravity also has a role in ‘time travel.’ It takes into account the dispersion of radiations through the worm holes and researches are going on about its possible effects and impact on ‘time travel.’

Recently the Virgin boss, Sir Richard Branson has entered into an agreement with Mojave Aerospace Ventures, for around 14 million pounds which will see his company take passengers to the space, a Virgin space travel. Mojave Aerospace Ventures was setup by the Microsoft’s co –founder Paul Allen and aviation pioneer Burt Rutan. For this purpose, this British entrepreneur is having five space liners built by the expert team which made spaceship one. The California based space liner became the first privately developed carrier to go beyond 100 kilometers.

According to Richard Virgin space travel, it will cost you around one lakh pounds to go on a “Virgin Galactic” space liner and the first flight will began operating soon. He also says that if this project becomes a success, then he will soon also start orbital flights and even get a hotel up there.

This agreement allows Virgin to use Spaceship One technology. The space liner which is being built by Virgin will accommodate five passengers compared with the two passengers’ capacity offered by Spaceship One.

The vehicle will be well tested before beginning a scheduled space service. The space liner will take off from Mojave Desert which is near Los Angeles. Also the passengers will have to undergo a week’s training before they take off.

The virgin group is well known for its wide range of businesses like music, soft drinks, mobiles, holidays, cars, finance etc. However this business is completely different from the other normal ones. Thus it is more important for them to keep their reputation alive.

Virgin group also claims that its space technology, which releases a spaceship into the sun-orbit using a jet carrier aircraft, is much safer and is much environment friendly than conventional ground-launched rocket technology. Another difference is that, the parts of the space liner mainly consists of non metallic member and are light and hence require less power.

Virgin is not only the first private party which is trying to develop the concept of space travels in private sphere but also it will be the first to take passengers into space.

This space trip, which is being offered by Virgin, will be the most intense and wonderful experiences that people have ever had. Astronauts over the last many years have all returned to earth, struggling very hard to convey that enormity of what they had experienced and discovered. To be able to extend the privilege to ordinary people has been a long held ambition for Virgin, and is slowly becoming true. You won’t believe it, but till date around 200 tickets for “Virgin Galactic” are already sold.

Some people are so sure they saw a UFO or were probed by one that I thought maybe they're speaking truth. Do you think that they may have actually seen an object from the future and not an alien. A object that is man's future attempt in time travel that's not working well yet?
